i.' This invention-relates' tof kitchen utensils fand'more particularly to animproved type .of refuse receptacle and recepta'clev support for kitchen use.

i, Various attempts havel heretotorefbeen sanitary in construction, easily operated and relatively cheap to manufacture and assemble. This and other objects yWhich will be apparent to those skilled in this particular art l are accomplished by means of the invention illustrated in the accompanying` drawings, in Which Figure 1 1s a. view'm elevation of a lrefuse receptacle together With an improved form of support constructed 1n accordancev With one embodiment of this invention and showing the same secured to the bottom of a drain board. Fig. 2 isa sectional View on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a different form of bracket adapted to be employed in securing the device to a Wall or other vertical support.

The particular. form of this invention which has been chosen'i'or the purposes of ili lustration is shown as secured to the bottom lugs 5 of a drain board 6 byY means of a ribbed, substantially L-shaped supporting bracket 7. An extensible receptacle support is mounted upon the bracket and, as illustrate'd, consists of lazy tongs 8 pivoted to supporting pins 9 adjacent the forward edge of the bracket. The front end of the lazy tongs is provided With an end member 10 directly pivoted at its bottom to the end of an adjacent link 11 of the lazy tongs While the upper end is connected to the other adjacent link 12 by a short connecting link 13 adapted to engage'ansitop vlfl'on-the 'end member `vvhen the lazy tongsarev in extended position soas to limit the'fopeningf,movementfmthereoff if?
